The master plan includes design, development and construction of a park by Gravity Logic, a firm best known for building the most premier bike parks in the world. Park construc- tion has begun, with a projected opening this July and will be suitable for a wide variety of ages, skills, and interests. The mountain bike park will be a natural progression for the resort which hosts the UCI Windham World Cup, the only mountain bike World Cup event in the United States. Expansion of the Children’s Learning Center allows for increased occupancy to an important amenity at the resort. The CLC provides indoor activities and ski/snowboard lessons for children age 2-7. The expansion supports Windham Mountain Resort’s family-friendly reputa- tion and focus of attracting new partici- pants to the sport. Continued investment in the resort’s golf course and country club include the renovation and addition of twenty-six bunkers, reconstruction of several tee boxes, and the widening of fairways to speed up play. A total of $500,000 has been invested in the course and facilities this spring in addition to $1 million in improvements when the public/private course was acquired by Windham Moun- tain Resort in April of 2013. Windham Mountain Resort offers the premier alpine lifestyle in the Catskill Mountains. With the earliest opening date in ten years in 2014 and with record- breaking snow conditions, it’s clear to say Windham is experiencing the perfect storm. If you’ve never been to Windham Mountain Resort or it has simply been a while since you’ve come to visit, it’s time to take a ride up Route 23 and see what it’s all about.

  • Men on the Mountain."
    United States Department of Agriculture Men on the Forest Service Mountain Intermountain Region Ashley National Forest Ashley National Forest Vernal, Utah This story is dedicated to the personnel - - - past and present - of the Vernal Ranger District. - - Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. - Eccl. 9:10 2 Preface "Hell is paved with good intentions," and the undertaking to write this history is a monument among them. At the onset, I fully intended to make this complete to the minutest detail and as flawless as human ability permits. Three things have thwarted these noble desires. 1. The preponderance of historical events and information in the area - mostly in the form of old-timers; 2. The scarcity of written information of the area and, worse yet, the unreliability and contradictory nature of what recorded history exists; 3. The necessity of completing this work in four months instead of the intended period of at least one year. Nevertheless, the history of District 2 is begun. Corrections will be needed in this text and should definitely be made. Omissions should be added and sketchy incidents enlarged upon. This responsibility will rest with those following me, but within these covers is the start of what could be a model for historical reports of other Ranger Districts in the Forest service. It was once said, "History is, indeed, little more than the register of the crises, follies and misfortunes of mankind." I say history is, indeed, little more than people.
